An anti-foreigner demonstration in Boksburg, South Africa, descended into violence as marchers vandalised local businesses. Police escorted the demonstrators, but did not immediately intervene during the acts of vandalism. Protestors demanded authorities conduct immigration status checks on employees. During an inspection of one business, officials confirmed all staff possessed valid work documentation. Despite this finding, some demonstrators expressed continued dissatisfaction with the outcome. The incident highlights rising xenophobic tensions in the region and questions regarding law enforcement’s response to the unrest.
